Set 22 is finally complete!! And just in time for this year's E3 conferences! I don't know about you guys, but I'm STOKED to finally get some official news on Nintendo's upcoming Super Smash Brothers IV (tentative title)!!

Well, it seems that just like I guessed, BLADE'S EDGE SAGA will be getting a fifth installment to coincide with the anime series "Battle Spirits: Sword Eyes Gekitouden," which will apparently approach its climax by then. Look forward to new ace Spirits from the main characters, "Swordsman" Attribute and Brave Fusion support, more Sword Braves than you can shake a stick at, and a plentiful bounty of Darkness RUSH Spirits that could possibly change the metagame...?! That's all coming up later this summer. Now I'll have to get back to work on Set 17... In the meantime, enjoy the latest cards!

And suddenly our posting mechanisms get a major overhaul...! How unexpected.

In response to your question, Soaker, according to several Japanese Battle Spirits fan sites and online card game stores that provide teaser info for upcoming sets, for "Sword Destiny" they're planning another campaign in which customers who buy over 1000 yen of BatSpi merchandise will earn promotional cards featuring all-new Sword Braves that you won't even find in the anime...!
